“100 years later, redlining from 1933 is still one of the major explanations for lower amounts of bird information in areas that were previously redlined.”

This is an amazing tool! Thanks to my friend Chad Wilsey in Audubon Society for introducing it to me and to our Jasper Ridge community!

Please stop DMing us asking if we know the National Park Service. Yes, we know them. No, we aren't giving you their phone number.

So grateful to have amazing students who took the time and effort to honor me. One of the greatest joys of being a professor is graduate mentoring!

So grateful for a weekend writing retreat with these 4 members of my Lab. We worked hard, played hard, and laughed hard.
